A glimpse into the fantasy world that was created to survive
Cinderella memories buried in tombs of yesterday
back in the days when the sun cleaved like a sword
there were no words to explore the light of day
only silent thoughts acclimatized to each nosegay
Scented hopes and well hidden sachets by cedar box
Avon heavenly spritz an act of instant gratification
Lullabies that lingered late into the night , child Knox
telling stories of Princesses glass slippers and locks
Stagecoach mice scurrying past at the stroke of night
run girl run into your castle, see the hands of time
As the moon comes out to flash her flashbulb light
you will be hidden in the covers joyfully taking flight
A Cinder-dress made of chintz from nimble fingers
what is surreal, what is rea, and what is so sublime
when we get old everything we ever saw, lingers
everything we ever did, turns us into harbingers
Inspired by Artist and Photographer Annie Leibovitz
I still love the Cinderella story, even in many other versions. There is something magical about Cinderella's story that I like, I don't think I will ever grow out of liking it.
Cinderella. A woman whose merits were not recognized, but who then achieves sudden success and recognition. The image looks like Scarlett Johansson. Your phrase: "Turns us into harbingers..." is interesting Vienna. You seem to be proffering (to the reader) that all of our life experiences become a foreshadowing or presage of something good to come. Perhaps like Cinderella's transmutation? Your minds-eye is working uniquely here. Holiday blessings. r
Book Two of The Jade Owl Legacy Series: The quest continues as the Professor and his confidants discover the full weight of their mission and acquire supernatural powers to further heir success.
